About Hayley

Hayley Wilcock is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful. Hayley focuses on helping people speak honestly about difficult feelings without judgement and supports practical steps forward.

Her style blends several approaches around a person-centred core. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation, drawing on attachment work, cognitive techniques, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and somatic perspectives when helpful.

Background and approach

That mix is used to match interventions to what each person needs rather than following a single formula. Hayley has a particular interest in trauma, bereavement and neurodiversity. She is neurodivergent herself and uses that lived experience to inform practical strategies, coping skills and psychoeducation for clients with ADHD and other neurodiverse presentations.

She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Clients can expect direct, down-to-earth conversation and straightforward tools to try between sessions. Hayley describes herself as loyal, honest and empathic, and she aims to work collaboratively with people to build clearer routines, communication patterns and ways of managing overwhelming emotions.

Therapy sessions may cover past experiences and attachment patterns alongside present-day coping. Hayley adapts her pace to each person and offers a blend of listening, reflective questions and practical exercises to help move things forward.

How Hayley’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this work helps people notice attachment styles that affect trust, closeness and communication in relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress with clear exercises and behavioural tasks.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Hayley will listen to your goals and test what works best, combining approaches if needed. She adapts tools and pacing to your needs rather than insisting on one method from the start.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low or for more flexible check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and day-to-day routines.
